Question : Hi,
My backside ribs are getting pain. While sleeping also I am not comfortable. If I want to move from one side to other also I am feeling pain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Madam,

From last one month, I am facing this pain. Before also I faced a little bit of pain but it is not continuous. No, I don't think about muscle strain. No difference while sleeping and when I am awake. It is continuous pain from the last one month.

And i am not sure will say it back pain or not, only left and right side of ribs at back side are getting pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Back pain can be due to various causes. I would like to know more details. From how many days you are having back pain? Was there any muscle strain or pull? Does the pain aggravate on sleeping? When does it reduce?

Looking forward.
Regards

Brief Answer:
As explained below

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Generalized left and right pain at the back can be XXXXXXX to vitamin deficiency, fatigue or stress. I suggest you apply heat bag on the areas followed by any pain relief gel such as volini or omnigel and take a hot shower bath. Do this twice daily for a week or 2. Deep breathing exercises for 20 minutes in the morning and night. You can take Tab. Dolo 650 mg in case of severe pain. Take Tab. becadexamin once daily in the night for 30 days.

Meanwhile get Complete Blood Count, thyroid and vitamin D and B12 levels.

I hope this answered your query.
Regards
